Things had, for a short while, been in an awkward sort of inbetween stage between Scott and Allison. Back home, with everything the way it was, Allison had broken up with him. And Scott was okay with that, because he would wait for her. Because he knew, deep down, that they were meant to be together. So waiting? It wasn't a big deal. But then he ended up here and she was one of the few people he actually knew and that made him pull towards her a little more than he already did naturally. Nevermind the tension. It was all very weird and awkward and he didn't even really know hat they were until allison asked, point-blank. They talked it over and here they were, a couple again, and Scott couldn't contain he happiness that created.
So with their date night a fail last night because, honestly, they had both just sort of lost time somewhere along through the day, they resurrected it for tonight. "It was," he nodded his agreement to her statement about last night, smiling as they walked hand-in-hand down the street. Had he known Allison to be out by herself right now, he probably would have been nervous about it, but being with her meant he knew she was safe from whatever would happen now. He was still a little iffy about her leaving the complex alone, but he tried to keep it contained. He didn't want to smother her or something, he just sort of worried. And she did have a bit of a trouble magnet sitting in her back pocket or something, so he felt this worry was completely warranted. "Funny is always good. Can't ever go wrong with funny."
Scott was about to speak up again when something else caught his attention. A scent. A familiar one. And then his eyes caught up with his nose and he saw Peter at a standstill on the sidewalk, coming from the other direction, walking towards them. Instinctively, without even realizing it, Scott shifted slightly more in front of Allison, his hand gripping hers a little tighter. He wasn't sure what to do, what to say. He hadn't talked to Peter all that much before, but he hadn't talked to him at all since he had been turned human again. So instead, he just kept his eyes locked on him and kept that protective stance between him and Allison, deciding to take his cue from her on how to react.
